Lauderhill -- A Lauderhill man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly fired six shots from a .44-caliber Magnum handgun while he was inside the Lauderhill Mall Club apartment complex, according to a police report.

Maurice Freeman, 22, of the 1100 block of Northwest 40th Avenue, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, discharging a firearm in public and obstruction of justice by disguise when he was taken into custody about 9:30 p.m.

A Broward Sheriff`s Office deputy had addressed a tenants` meeting at the complex just moments before the gun went off, the report said. The deputy ran from the meeting and seized the suspect, witnesses said.
